The Tale of the Pirate (Corsair)

One of the biggest pirates in the Pacific in the sixteenth century was Marty Buschetto. His mother was originally from
Bohemia and his father was Italian. Marty Buschetto and his ship were in the services of the Queen of Spain and primarily
attacked English ships. He was even ennobled for his heroic actions. During one attack on an English ship, a beautiful girl
called Marie was taken prisoner. She came from Prague and Marty Buschetto fell head over heels in love with her. He asked
Marie for her hand and she agreed, under the condition that Buschetto would abandon piracy and settle down with her in
Prague, where her parents were among the richest burghers. After thinking for a long time, Marty accepted her condition
and complied with it. As a wedding gift they got a house that stood on the spot of today's restaurant from Marie's parents.
As Marty was an active person, he opened an inn and wine cellar on the ground floor and imported great Italian wine for
it. During his trips to Italy for wine, he was so attracted by pizza production that he learned several recipes and became
the first person in Prague to bake a pizza. As he was a great storyteller, his inn was always full, not just because of the great
wines and pizza, but in particular because of his incredible tales from the time when he was a pirate.
